VSM-3901
SDI Monitoring Distribution Amplifier
The NEO® VSM-3901 SDI distribution amplifier (DA) is a flexible distribution/conversion module in the NEO advanced applications platform. It provides up to six reclocked and equalized copies of the input signal. It may also provide either four monitoring composite outputs or component outputs (YprPb, GBR or YC), including a proc amp to correct signal levels. This product can act as a component digital-to-analog converter.
This module, as is the case with all modules in the NEO family, can be controlled locally via a front-edge display or by remote communications using the NUCLEUS™ network control panel or CCS Navigator™ software.
Features
- 10-bit signal processing path
- Up to six reclocked equalized 4:2:2 serial outputs
- Up to four NTSC/PAL-B analog composite color outputs or one component (GBR/Y, Pb, Pr/YC)
- Input standard manual/auto detect supporting NTSC/PAL-B
- Vertical blanking interval pass/delete
- Composite gain and offset adjustment
- Component gains and offsets adjustments
- Encoded outputs suitable for dubbing (10 bits)
- DejaView intelligent settings recovery system
- CCS™-enabled
